If the heavens ever did speak
She’s the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday’s getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week

‘We were born sick, ‘ you heard them say it

My Church offers no absolutes
She tells me, ‘Worship in the bedroom.’
The only heaven I’ll be sent to
Is when I’m alone with you—I was born sick,
But I love it
Command me to be well
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

If I’m a pagan of the good times
My lover’s the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice

Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That’s a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We’ve a lot of starving faithful

That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work

[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

No Masters or Kings
When the Ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am Human
Only then I am Clean
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[Chorus 2x:]
Take me to church
I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

One of those rare cases where the movie is as good as the book! Read it last year (I think?!) and *loved* it, so was pretty on the fence about watching the movie, but I’m glad I did! Then again, you can’t really regret anything with Julianne Moore in it, can you?! Even Kristen Stewart was well cast for this one – considering her one-note acting. Definitely recommend this one!

About: Uncover the identity of a jester assassin. Unlock the legend of the Knights Templar. Unravel a plot as twisted as the catacombs you’re about to prowl.
As George Stobbart, an American in Paris, you find it odd when an accordion-playing clown darts out of a cafe clutching a briefcase. Moments later, you’re sent flying, violently thrown through the air by the force of a massive explosion, right into a sinister, global intrigue. The coveted contents of that briefcase? A fiercely guarded manuscript penned by a clandestine medieval order – the Knights Templar. Reveal the truth behind a secret conspiracy and save the world from the Templars’ evil plan.

The original version of Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is available as a free bonus.

The Director’s Cut includes an additional chapter of the story, seen from Nico’s perspective and the original version of Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars a.k.a. Broken Sword: Circle of Blood.

Great hand-drawn graphics, now remade with new animated cinematics and HD resolutions

A timeless adventure game with a conspiracy atmosphere and a big underlying mystery

Overall, Broken Sword is a pretty fun game. The puzzles are enjoyable – neither too hard nor too easy, and pretty logical. The dialogue is entertaining, the characters pretty decent, the graphics pretty cartoon-like. It’s a pretty decent and fun game for a point-and-click adventure. On sale? Try it!

The living will have to survive amongst the dead in this game based on The Walking Dead, the widely acclaimed comic book series and television series. Across five dark and emotional episodes of gameplay, every decision and action you take can result in the entire story of the game changing around you.

Play as Lee Everett, a convicted criminal, who has been given a second chance at life in a world devastated by the undead. With corpses returning to life and survivors stopping at nothing to maintain their own safety, protecting an orphaned girl named Clementine may offer him redemption in a world gone to hell.

The Walking Dead Series 1 to 5 is simply Amazing. The graphics are fantastic. The characters are realistic. The storyline is pretty much the same as the TV series (graphic Novels) – all about survival (with heaps of mini-quests)… but the best part of the game is the fact that every choice you make changes the course of the story. How cool is that? Even the ending is influenced by the way you’ve played. So, if you haven’t tried it yet, what are you waiting for?!

How are you doing today? Hope you’re happy and well! I’m not too bad, though I’ve been wrestling a cold, as have done the kids, the last few days. The babies had to miss school *again* – just so I could keep them warm and help them recuperate better.

Apart from that, I’ve been making some new Christmas cards. As you see here, I’ve made a Shaker card with my own little watercolor painting in the background. I painted a little kid pulling a sleigh in the setting sun looking at a Christmas tree.

On the next one, I used an old Christmas picture I had in my box of paper scraps and just made a snow globe shaker card with it. I embossed the white cardstock with a beautiful snowflake cuttlebug folder I have. It’s SUPER simple, but effective. I put the shaker on the edge of the card, because I really wanted to give that “snowflake” background HEAPS of space.. to make it look like a snowfall.

Next, I used a simple bear stamp which I watercolored:)

I also used the cute Martha Stewart border punch to make that lace edge:) Seriously LOVE it (Well, to be fair I LOVE everything Martha Stewart. She’s my Craft Goddess!)

Oh and at the top of that Bear card is some cute red & white baker’s twine:)

Finally, here’s my very FAVORITE card I’ve made this year so far for Christmas:) I watercolored a little girl skating in the middle of nature with the sunset as a background.

Of course, you can’t really see the detailing, but I’m really happy with the result. I’ve glittered up the trees and used some Sakura 3D pens to really make the girl’s coat POP.. and well, I can’t say enough about the beautiful pattern paper I used behind the image. It’s just gorgeous! Pinks, teal, grey, silver.. Just *WOW*… and it gives a real sense of patchwork:)

I had so much fun making this card, because it was a messy job! ahah Who doesn’t like a good ‘tie dye’?!

Anyway, it turned out a lot better than I expected for a first try!! Again, I water-colored my stamp, used some Sakuras to make the card POP.. and obviously Glittered the wings to my heart’s content. Hope you like the result as much as I did!

Now, I also decided to take some photos of my baby studio for you to see where all the magic happens! lol I tidied it up just for you! Yes, you might have your doubts about how the table ‘usually’ looks… especially in the middle of all that aforementioned ‘magic’… ahah:)

As you can see, I have 3 chairs at my table, so both kids can sit and craft with me, though usually, only one of them does so at a time.. so they get to sit in the chair next to the door. (Best view of the Screen mind you!!)

So, yes, a little tour? First shelf, all my twines and ribbons… second, pens (touch marker boxes, gel pens…) and cuttlebug machine and ‘luggage’ of mini embossing folders and mini die cuts. Third shelf, big embossing folders and die cuts, and all my big tools… like Memory keeper’s envelop board, Martha Stewart Mega slicer as well as her scoring board. (They sure take HEAPS of space – hence why I piled them up..) Fourth, all my one color cardstock and papers, and last shelf.. All my mags (Some of which I keep to read, and others just as cute paper for embellishments and such.. like in the first Christmas card ‘fairy Christmas’.. the Fushia pink for the tag came from an Oprah Mag!)

Now, on the table.. my laptop and my scan n cut, sakuras, black inks, etc.. and on the other side.. is where all the bling hides:) This photos gives you a small apercu

SO, first shelf, buttons, baby punches, and baby paper pads.. Second shelf, Big punches & Stamps. Third shelf, BLING & inks & GLITTER!! ahah You can’t really see them on the photo, I think.. but in my red shinny box, I have HEAPS of big glitter tubes.. and against the wall, Matt got me a big Martha Stewart glitter set (all called after precious stones!! SOOOO Beautiful!!). Fourth shelf, BIG paper pads with beautiful designs:)) And little tools of the trade.. Fifth shelf – kid shelf.. papers, the kids can use, red bucket of ‘stuff’.

Okay, ALSO.. under the screen.. you can see I have 6 big drawers.. Most of them have arty ‘stuff’ in them.. like one is FULL of paper/cardstock embellishments… oh and another, my water color pencils, pastels, etc. So, they are ALL full too.. and above my printer are my pretty beads:)

Finally, you do NOT want to know what’s going on in my closet behind me. It shall remain a MYSTERY forever.

Anyway, ahah:) There you go. Now you know where I spend every FREE minute of my day. When I’m not watching Fringe on my screen these days.. I’m watching my personal ‘Art Channel’.. of youtube videos on Everything and Anything Art related… or music videos:)

How are you doing today? I’m pretty good – though I wish we were just *starting* the weekend and not ending it! I LOVE spending the day just crafting with or next to the kids. Time just flies by when you’re having fun.

The card you’re seeing I made yesterday! I LOVE this little fairy stamp:) I colored her in with my watercolors. Adorable! I also LOVE these cool new colors for Christmas – Pinks and Teals!! My whole paper pad has those colors.. so, that’ll probably be my theme for this year!

Also, check out my instagram section to see my cute new baker twine bobbins and for more photos of my craft room soon:)!!

Hope you’re having a great day! Sending you BIG hugs and lots of love!!

How are you? I’m good! The kids? Not so much. They’ve been sick since last week! Anna caught the flu, and Sami had a cold. Can’t wait for the weekend to come around again.

Apart from that, I just finished making this card. LOVE my cutting dies and cake stamp! I just ordered myself a PILE (5 BIG bobbins!!) of Baker’s Twine!! Can’t wait for them to arrive!! After that, I’ll have a rainbow selection of them:) Might take a photo for you to see! Though I have to admit that I already had a pack of tiny little bobbins (a pack of 20 or so from Spotlight?!) .. But this is SO much better because they’re INSANELY HUGE Bobbins!! Yay for working out for money! ahah

Talking about working out.. I lost 2lbs!! YAY!! only 31 more pounds until I’m back to where I mostly want to be!! Sounds like a lot, but it’s not that bad!! These 2lb bring me officially to -16lbs since last Summer!! (-8kg!!) In 4lb.. I’ll have lost a whole 20lb!!! I’m really quite proud of myself. It’s taking ages, but at least I’m not dieting.. just being reasonable and exercising. Very happy with myself and the results!!

Long time no blog. Can’t believe we’re already a week after the school holidays!! Where has the time gone? July has been so busy – but super good!

Can’t believe the worse of winter is already over! Yes! Can’t wait to get back into my studio and craft to my heart’s content. In the winter, the room is just WAY too cold to spend heaps of time in.. so, I switch to a different fun hobby – hence all the knitting!

That being said, it’s still birthday season anyway.. so, here’s a photo of my mother-in-law’s watercolor birthday card. And the inside. Had a good time making it. The cute fox one was made for a good friend of mine:) Hope she liked it! ahah

Next week, I have some 3-way conferences to go to with Anna and Sami’s teahers. :-/ ugh Hate those. The only good thing about them is that it means they close the school early. :-p

I’ve also finally finished my Oxford Victorian Anthology of Ghost stories. Foof. That took long enough! Now, I’m back into the Psychic Eye series by Victoria Laurie. Something light and easy.

Game wise, I’m still playing my pc Sacred 2 game, and I’m about to start a new point-and-click game – though not sure which just yet.

I’m also still trying to lose weight. I’ve been stable since my last weigh-in.. though I’ve gone up and down 2lb or so.. but since last week, Matt’s created for me a very cool Excel sheets that rewards exercise with money! Who doesn’t like that idea?! Anyway, I’ve done one week of it – and I’m not done just yet, but it’s motivated me in doing 50 minutes of X-training *EVERY* day.. Can’t wait to go shopping! ahah

Hope your day is going as well as ours. I’m about to go roll some lasagna sheets:)
